God's Law Brings Liberation

Pope Benedict XVI says that God’s law brings personal liberation to each person who embraces it and lives it with integrity. “God’s Law is his Word, which guides man on the path of life, releases him from the slavery of selfishness and introduces him to the ‘land’ of true freedom and life,” the Pope said during his midday Sept. 2 Angelus address.

“For this reason, in the Bible the Law is not seen as a burden, an overwhelming limitation, but as the Lord’s most precious gift, the testimony of his fatherly love, of his desire to be close to his people, to be their ally and write with his people a love story.” (Cf Catholic News)
